What Sitting All Day Is Doing to Your Body (And Why You Don’t Notice It)

from Brains Byte Back · host The Sociable

Millions of people across the globe spend an average of 8–10 hours a day sitting at a desk, and research increasingly shows that long periods of idling are linked to higher risks of diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic health problems.And going to the gym for one hour does little to cancel the effects of sitting for too long. We’re learning that our well-being is shaped just as much by what happens the rest of the day.In this episode of Brains Byte Back, host Erick Espinosa speaks with Dr. Milad Geravand, co-founder and CEO of Deep Care, about why the modern desk job has quietly become a health risk we need recognize and how new AI-powered tools could help change that.Dr. Geravand created Isa, an AI-powered desk device designed to monitor posture, movement, and workplace conditions in real time. Unlike traditional fitness trackers that focus on workouts, Isa focuses on the 8–10 hours people spend sitting during the workday.In this conversation, they explore: • Why sitting all day affects metabolism and long-term health • Why exercise alone may not undo sedentary habits • How AI can support healthier behavior without invading privacy • What companies can do to improve employee health and productivityFind out more about Dr. Milad Geravand, here.Learn more about Deep CareI, here.Reach out to today's host, Erick Espinosa - [email protected] the latest on tech news - https://sociable.co/ Leave an iTunes review  - https://rb.gy/ampk26Follow us on your favourite podcast platform - https://link.chtbl.com/rN3x4ecY
